Introduction to discrete-event simulation
Jerry Banks,John S. Carson +1 more
TL;DR: The concepts of system and model, system state, entities, attributes and delays are defined in the general context of simulation and event-scheduling, process-interaction, and activity-scanning perspectives are briefly described.

Rescheduling frequency in an FMS with uncertain processing times and unreliable machines
TL;DR: In this article, several reactive scheduling policies are proposed to address the effects of machine breakdowns and processing time variations in a multi-resource FMS environment and the results indicated that a periodic response with an appropriate period length would be sufficient to cope with interruptions.

Modeling and simulation of a nonhomogeneous poisson process having cyclic behavior
TL;DR: In this paper, a unified approach to modeling and simulation of a nonhomogeneous Poisson process whose rate function exhibits cyclic behavior as well as a long-term evolutionary trend is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Collaborative visualization of engineering processes using tabletop augmented reality
TL;DR: This paper introduces tabletop Augmented Reality to accommodate the need to collaboratively visualize computer-generated models and develops a new software program named ARVita, where multiple users wearing Head-Mounted Displays and sitting around a table can all observe and interact with dynamic visual simulations of engineering processes.

Scheduling surgical cases into overflow block time- computer simulation of the effects of scheduling strategies on operating room labor costs.
TL;DR: A scheduling strategy is developed that balances the OR manager’s need to reduce staffing costs and the needs of patients and surgeons for flexibility in choosing the dates and times of cases and provides surgeons and patients with some flexibility in scheduling.
